error, the contents of the variables selected in this window will be available to the rest of your
process, or as long as they are not overwritten.
Common Errors
Though some error messages are specific to a task in particular, others may apply to any and
all tasks because they are related more to the system than to PlanetPress itself. Some
examples would be W3813, W3830, W3991, W4005. These correspond to issues such as not
having any space to write files, permission errors on folders or files, etc.
Comments Tab
The Comments tab is common to all tasks. It contains a single text area (Task comments)that
lets you write comments about the task. These comments are saved when the dialog is closed
with the OKbutton, and are displayed in the Task Comments Pane.
Send Email
The Send Email output task send the data files it receives via email.
Technical
In some combinations of Microsoft Outlook and Windows versions, it is not possible for
Outlook to be opened while PlanetPress Workflow is running, so emails are not sent out
automatically. To correct this, make sure to logon to Windows on the PlanetPress
Workflow server using the same login that PlanetPress Workflow is using, and open
Outlook before starting the PlanetPress Workflow services. You could also use a startup
process to start Outlook before the rest of the services.
Input
Any data file.
Processing
While an email is always sent by this task (or at least attempted to be sent), the contents of the
file and presence of attachments depends on the selected option. Refer to the properties'
descriptions below to know what each option does.
